Visiting your past self.

So this hypothetical came up in a Discord chat I was in, and I want to know what everyone thinks.
Imagine that time travel to the past is now a thing, and you are given the opportunity to travel back to the past to the day of your 10th birthday, and you have the chance to talk to you as a 10 year old boy/girl, and spend the whole day with them.

Would you accept the offer and visit your past self? If so, what would you do with them? Would you give them any advice on their/your future? Would you give them anything?

I'd probably have a lot to say for advice, but I probably wouldn't change anything I did in my high school years. My advice would be to my 18-20 year old self lmao.
Namely: Don't spend an entire 6 months in British Columbia basically burning 3,000 dollars away. I'd have loved to travel somewhere instead.

I wouldn't want to tell him anything but I'd love to just watch how I was.

If anything, I do have regrets, choices that I think I shouldn't have done at all but I don't think I'd want it any other way as of now. The things I had to go through were a kind of trial... if I didn't go through those, I wouldn't have learned at all. Knowing myself, I learn through action rather than just being told how to.

I wouldn't change much about the way I behaved. Just gave a couple of advices that might just change my life. Such as:
-Be careful when you play basketball and stretch well before every game and practice (hopefully preventing the ACL tear at 16)
-Listen more and think a lot more. Pay attention to what people say. Voice yourself when something is wrong (hopefully preserving some long lost friendships)

But besides that nothing really. Most of my passions were born between age 11 and 17, so i would hate interfering with their development. Also my mental fortitude got developed during middle and highschool, so changing that would drastically change the person I am today.

Spoiler for Quotes worth Remembering:

"I mean, also it's a collab so like there's what I wrote which is a dick to the face and what devi wrote for example which is actually pretty decent and setting up something later possibly. And yes, i said devi and actually pretty decent in the same sentence. Never speak of this" -Chrome-

I don't think I'd do much. I would probably, like Errorblender, be simply content with watching myself. I have regrets, but they made me into who I am now and I can't imagine a life where I'm not like this hahaha. Perhaps the only thing I would do is tell him to take school and life more seriously and perhaps I would prevent myself from fucking up my college life.

I am prepared to meet my maker.
Whether or not he's prepared to meet me....
well that's another matter, isn't it?
